Scientists hatch bold plan to save planet from supervolcano eruption
Humans have witnessed many cataclysmic volcanic eruptions, from the one that destroyed Pompeii in 79 A.D. to the extraordinary Krakatoa eruption of 1883. But around the world right now there are about 20 so-called “supervolcanoes” that could outdo them all. One of these monster volcanoes lurks beneath Yellowstone National Park. The Yellowstone Caldera is an enormous craterlike depression measuring 30 miles by 45 miles and filled with molten material. If it were to blast its innards out in a super-eruption, it’s no exaggeration to say that the human race could be imperiled.

Huge Bubble of Hot Rock May Be Rising Under New England

And its mountains are mere hills compared to ranges like the Rockies or the Sierra Nevada in the western U.S. But don’t underestimate what’s going on beneath the surface: It turns out this idyllic pocket of the northeastern U.S. may sit atop a rising mass of warm rock—a smaller, slower version of the magma pockets under well-known volcanic zones.
